RARE Weller Muskota Flower Frog - Leda & the Swan

This amazing flower frog was made by the Weller Pottery Company. It is called Muskota Ware and dates from 1915 - 1928. This particular piece is called "Leda and the Swan". According to Greek mythology, Leda was approached by the god Zeus while he was masquerading as a swan. Zeus made love to Leda in this form, and Helen of Troy was born out of the union. The memorable union between Leda and the Swan has long been immortalized by artisans and also greatly influenced mythology. This beautiful piece measures nearly 7" high, 7 1/4" long and 5 3/4" wide. There are 10 holes for holding flowers. It has a white matt finish. It does show crazing (due to its age), but otherwise is in excellent condition.
